Ceremony seating will begin between 4:00 and 4:15 PM with the ceremony beginning at 4:30 PM. There will be plenty of parking at the entrance to the venue. The wedding and reception will be almost entirely outdoors so please plan accordingly! There will be unpaved walkways so if you are planning on heels, just be aware of this. Weather in September can be unpredictable but we are hoping for slightly cooler temps, particularly for the sake of our guests in dinner jackets. Cocktail attire will most likely be the norm but if you feel moved to wear an evening gown, by all means please do so! We can't wait to see you.
